Chapter 1152: 561 The Emperor Learns the Truth (Second Update)_3 Chapter 1152: 561 The Emperor Learns the Truth (Second Update)_3 His leg had started hurting again.
It was the place where it had been amputated.
Every once in a while, his bone would protrude through the stump, and each ti this happened, he had to endure the agonizing process of grinding down the bone.
Every grinding was a walk through King Yama Hall.
Several tis, he had nearly not made it through.
He didn’t want to go through the pain of bone grinding again, or perhaps he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to survive it this ti.
But isn’t it strange?
Hadn’t he been longing for death already?
What was he afraid of now?
“Brother, what’s wrong with you? Did you hurt yourself when you fell?” Xiao Jingkong looked at Huangfu Xian, whose expression seed off, and asked with undisguised concern.
“No,” Huangfu Xian said indifferently, grabbing a blanket to cover his painfully throbbing amputated leg.
Xiao Jingkong was not one to fixate on others’ imperfections; no one had deliberately taught him— he simply observed what Jiaojiao did and mimicked her.
His gaze quickly shifted to Huangfu Xian’s face: “Eh? Brother, why is your face swollen?”
The swelling from last ti had not subsided, only it hadn’t been this severe; these past few days, it seed he had been in the cold wind too much, and the previously injured spot had beco frostbitten.
Huangfu Xian looked at him nonchalantly: “Are you very curious?”
“Hmm,” Xiao Jingkong nodded vigorously.
Huangfu Xian’s lips curled into a faint smirk and he said playfully, “My mother hit .”
Xiao Jingkong fluttered his small arms behind him, leaning forward with a puzzled expression: “Why would your mother hit you?”
Huangfu Xian scoffed: “Because I’m disabled?”
Xiao Jingkong clenched his small fists tightly, saying earnestly, “That’s no reason to hit soone! Bad Brother-in-Law is la, but Jiaojiao never hit him!”
Huangfu Xian: “…”
“Why do you call him Bad Brother-in-Law?” Huangfu Xian inquired.
“Because he’s Bad Brother-in-Law!” Xiao Jingkong retorted, sticking out his mouth.
“How bad?” Huangfu Xian’s eyes held a glimr of real coldness.
“So very bad!” Xiao Jingkong exclaid.
Huangfu Xian was deeply aware of how cruel an adult could be to a child.
“Do you want to teach him a lesson for you?” he asked.
“No, that won’t be necessary!” Xiao Jingkong coughed lightly, “I, I, I can teach him a lesson myself!”
The little mushroom’s face was flushed red, eyes flickering – clearly, he didn’t really despise that Bad Brother-in-Law.
Huangfu Xian’s mood soured even more.
He couldn’t exactly say why.
Xiaojiu fluttered its wings and landed on Huangfu Xian’s pillow. It had destroyed so many things, only to find its favorite thing to dismantle was Huangfu Xian’s pillow.
“Xiaojiu, stop destroying things,” Xiao Jingkong said helplessly.
Xiaojiu just wouldn’t listen and kept tearing into it, quickly pulling out the cotton from inside Huangfu Xian’s pillow.
Xiao Jingkong sighed like an old man: “It’s all because of Xiaoba, Brother Yan’s bird, leading it astray.”
Huangfu Xian inquired, “And who is Brother Yan?”
Xiao Jingkong replied, “He’s our brother at ho, of course.”
Huangfu Xian’s handso brows furrowed: “You have other brothers?”
Xiao Jingkong held up two little fingers: “Uh-huh, two of them! Brother Yan and Brother Xiaoshun!”
Huangfu Xian, with a darkened expression, asked, “So, do you like them?”
Without a second thought, Xiao Jingkong nodded: “I like them!”
Huangfu Xian’s expression grew even darker.
“If you have so many brothers, why co to ?”
“To take you out to play!”
“Hmph!”
Huangfu Xian turned his face away coldly.
Xiao Jingkong reached out his plump little hand, grabbing his fingers; the soft touch once again reminded one of a kitten’s paw pads.
“Brother, let take you to my ho!”
Just as Xiao Jingkong finished speaking, the sound of a eunuch’s frantic footsteps and distressed screams ca from outside the door: “It’s terrible! Princess Ning An has had an accident!”
